If you often embark on family road trips, chances are, you’ve frequently felt overwhelmed when it comes time to load up your Honda Odyssey with everyone’s gear and suitcases.

And that’s where our Avery Greene Honda road-trip travel experts come into play. With a few basic strategies, you can pack your Odyssey like a pro for your next adventure.

Utilize Compartments

Stash coloring books, magazines, iPads, and other easy-to-grab activities behind the driver’s and front passenger’s seats. Store small electronics, chargers, and miscellaneous wires in the main console compartment between the front seats.

Contain Trash

Keeping your car clean (even in the kid-laden rear seats) is easy if you have trash bags on hand. Do not leave home without plastic shopping bags—they’re perfect for collecting trash that you accumulate with each stop you make along your journey.

Keep Essentials Handy

Do not leave home with your kid’s favorite teddy tucked away in trunk. Make sure everyone has all of their favorite comfort items and necessary odds-and-ends at hand. This can range from favorite toys to medications, like inhalers.

If you’ve packed your vehicle but would like more suggestions for making your road trip as easy and enjoyable as possible, call us at Avery Greene Honda. We’ll be happy to set you up with a pre-vacation maintenance appointment.

The Honda Odyssey makes traveling with the whole family easier and more comfortable than you ever thought possible. But having the right vehicle for the job is only part of the equation. Before you head out, you still need to pack. Here are some tips to make this task more enjoyable.

Packing for young children

Packing the right things for your little one is extremely important; you don’t want to be without an essential item on the road. Before you pull out of the driveway, make sure you have plenty of formula, diapers, and baby wipes, as well as extra clothes and bottles.

Packing for school-age kids

For toddlers and school-age children, make sure you have plenty of ways to keep them entertained during a long drive. Snacks, story books, and favorite toys are great places to start.

Packing for teens

Teens can often pack for themselves but make sure they don’t forget necessities like extra socks and a toothbrush. While they’re almost certain to remember their smartphone or other device, practical items can sometimes slip their minds.

Packing for mom and dad

Try to bring only clothes you think you’ll actually wear and the cosmetics you will actually use. Also remember to bring along some emergency items such as a flashlight and first-aid kit.

Packing for the entire family can be a stressful ordeal, but with a little bit of planning and careful preparation, your next trip is sure to be the best ever. For more information about the Honda Odyssey as well as our other family-friendly models, visit us at Avery Greene Honda.

Now, U.S. News & World Report is reaffirming the Odyssey’s family utility once more by naming it their “Best Minivan for Families” for a fourth consecutive year. The 2014 Odyssey, which topped U.S. News & World Report’s minivan rankings for 2014 as well, receives plaudits once more for the talents it has fine-tuned over the years: handling, safety, comfort, and fuel efficiency.

The 2014 Honda Odyssey was named the Best Minivan for Families this year.

“The Odyssey was designed to excel in one of the harshest environments on earth, daily family use,” said Mike Accavitti, senior vice president of automobile operations for American Honda, in a press release. “Being named ‘Best Minivan for Families,’ four years in a row speaks volumes about the Odyssey’s singular commitment to be the ultimate family vehicle.”

U.S. News & World Report’s Best Cars for Families are determined based upon reviews, safety and reliability ratings, family-oriented features, and passenger/cargo utility.

Provided that the Odyssey is the only minivan to earn the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety’s (IIHS) TOP SAFETY PICK+ distinction, as well as the recipient of an NHTSA 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score, its safety is impeccable. Given the Odyssey’s status as the best selling minivan in America, its popularity is unquestioned.

These factors make the 2014 Odyssey’s place n U.S. News & World Report’s Best Cars for Families list something of a lock. The addition of the groundbreaking HondaVAC system?

For years, the Honda Odyssey has proven to be a minivan capable of safely caring for the needs of your family. This year is no different. The 2014 Honda Odyssey continues its 14-year membership in the NHTSA’s 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score club.

The Honda Odyssey is the only minivan to receive a 5-Star Overall Vehicle Score from the NHTSA and a Top Safety Pick+ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. It is the fifth Honda to earn both distinctions.

We at Avery Greene Honda couldn’t put it better than Honda’s Art St. Cyr, vice president of product planning and logistics: “For customers looking to buy a minivan that achieves the highest-available safety ratings from the NHTSA and the IIHS, the Odyssey is the one and only choice.”

When picking a fight, it’s important to never bite off more than you can chew, lest you spill crumbs. To help promote the 2014 Odyssey and its innovative HondaVAC in-vehicle vacuum cleaner, Honda engaged in a war of words with fifteen different fast food and snack brands on Twitter. The battle of wits amounted to 60 tweets (42 of which were Honda’s), 10.6 million impressions from Twitter followers, and plenty of crumbs from crumbled cookies swept up off the floor in the aftermath.

On October 1, Honda fired off a number of tweets at brands such as Taco Bell, Skittles, and Oreos in order to warn them of what would happen should their crumbs find their way onto the Odyssey’s floor. This included the tweets: “Dear @TacoBell crumbs, if you fall on my floor, you will be no mas,” “Mmmmmmmm. The rainbow is tasty @Skittles (accompanied by a picture of Skittles being sucked into the HondaVAC),” and “Hey @BurgerKing, we’ll be #Satisfried when we’ve vacuumed every one of you off our floors.”

Honda previously called upon the talents of Neil Patrick Harris and Rainn Wilson to become “spokescrumbs” in television ads promoting the 2014 Odyssey and the HondaVAC vacuum cleaner. For those looking to enjoy the cleanest ride possible, we here at Avery Greene Honda have LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring versions of the 2014 Odyssey available on our lot right now!

While Honda’s Twitter campaign ultimately proved successful in picking fights with Doritos, Red Vines, and Hershey’s Kisses and generating buzz for the 2014 Odyssey, we think they could have set their sights just a little bit higher. Imagine what a Twitter feud with Kanye would have done for the brand! #YOLO#SWAGSWAG
